There are discussions on Twitter about this after last night's RAW...
I have noticed this. It was apparent last night in the closing segment.
One of the things that I think really added to the current/recent "boom period" of WWE was the audience was happy to go along for the ride - cheer the babyfaces, boo the heels.
Super babyface Sami fighting for his life to "one more time" chants for the heels would have never happened a year ago. But it happened last night. It feels like we are a long long long way removed from the WWE crowds who were booing Dom Mysterio so loud he couldn't even get a word out on the mic. Now they cheer him.
I don't think it's a good thing.. smarky crowds are the worst and their tastes will always shift. They'll boo the babyface until he turns heel, then cheer once he does it.
What do ya'll think it is that changed? Lots of theories on Twitter...some say HHHunter exposing too much via kayfabe, others say the families have been priced out of live events and it's all older hardcore fans attending again.
I can't put my finger on it quite yet but something has shifted, specifically since the segment where they booed CAWdy and cheered Cena. Everything has been shifting since that moment.
